“I scored the winning goal but we won because of him and I think je deserved all the praises not me”: Manchester United’s defender Lisandro Martinez names ONE Man United’s player who shcoked him with a performance ‘never seen in football history’ against Fulham

Lisandro Martinez, who scored the game-winning goal for Manchester United in their triumph against Fulham, said that he was an extremely lucky player to score the lone goal.

The match between Manchester United and Fulham took place at Craven Cottage on Sunday night, and Manchester United emerged victorious with a resolute victory away from home.

Under the leadership of Ruben Amorim, Manchester United continues to experience a range of emotions, and the supporters were hoping to witness a positive performance at Fulham.

United’s victory against Southampton was not convincing, and their loss to Brighton & Hove Albion at home was convincing. After that, United’s victory over Rangers was not very impressive, and they did not blow anybody away.

Although Amorim had hoped for a far more impressive performance against Fulham, the game was, as was to be expected, a close contest against a strong team.

In spite of this, United prevailed thanks to a deflected drive from Lisandro Martinez that reached Bernd Leno and found its way into the net.

Amorim was able to triumph over Marco Silva, a fellow Brazilian and an old friend of his, by virtue of United’s resoluteness and determination throughout the game.

Among the talented players at Manchester United is Lisandro Martinez.Martinez’s winner was a bit of a lucky break, but nobody will complain about it. Even the most devoted United supporters would acknowledge that Martinez’s goal was a little bit fortuitous.

Despite the fact that Martinez scored the lone goal, Toby Collyer made a contribution that ultimately won the game for United. This was a very difficult encounter for United.

Collyer was brought in as a substitute in the second half and was had to make a fantastic goal-line clearance in order to prevent Fulham from scoring an equaliser.

During the course of this season, the 21-year-old has made his way into the United first-team picture, and this was his fourth appearance in the Premier League.

Despite the fact that Collyer’s energy has been a focal point in the middle of the pitch, United’s victory was finally sealed by that clearing off the line.

Martinez showered admiration on Collyer in an interview with TNT Sports that took place after the concluding whistle.

Due to the fact that he is working so hard and is just so modest, Martinez indicated that Collyer is a “big example” to young players who are coming up through the ranks.

Martinez went on to say that Collyer is deserving of all the accolades that is being directed towards him because he was instrumental in United’s victory.

The reason I am so content is because of this person. Truly, this individual serves as a significant example for the younger generation. He is a significant example.

He continued by saying, “I am really happy for him because he is working so hard every day and he is so humble, so he deserves it all.”

In response to Martinez, Collyer writes:Collyer was caught aback by Martinez’s compliments, and he said that it was “unbelievable” to hear such remarks from a player who had won the World Cup with another team.

The talented player who had previously played for Brighton and Hove Albion stated that he is only wanting to better his game and believes that the ‘tough’ environment that United provides is appropriate.

I couldn’t have asked for anybody better, honestly,” said Collyer. “It’s incredible, it’s coming from a World Cup champion, so I couldn’t ask for someone better.”

“Just as he said, I’m putting in a lot of effort. I believe that the fact that it is a challenging setting is a positive thing since it helps you improve as a player and also helps your character. “All I want to do is work on getting better every day and contributing as much as I can to the team,” he continued.

Collyer is still waiting for his first start in the Premier League, but if he can continue to make an impression off the bench, it may not be too much longer until he gets the opportunity to start.

Due to the fact that United’s midfield ranks are rumoured to be undergoing a makeover, the kid is surely trying to make an impression.

There have been rumours that Casemiro is interested in moving to Saudi Arabia, while Christian Eriksen appears to be prepared to go when his contract expires this summer.

N’Golo Kante has been likened to Collyer, and he has a genuine opportunity to demonstrate to Amorim that he is deserving of a more significant position as 2025 progresses. Collyer has a real chance to prove himself to Amorim.

What Thierry Henry did to Mo Salah instantly after penalty defeat will break every Liverpool fan’s heart

Published

on

Thierry Henry has passed over Mohammed Salah as his top choice for the Ballon d’Or, preferring a LaLiga star.

Salah is a top contender for the annual award after a remarkable season with Liverpool. The Egyptian forward is having the finest season of his career, with 32 goals and 22 assists in all competitions for the Reds. Salah’s outstanding performance has helped Liverpool take a 15-point lead over closest rivals Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table. The 32-year-old is seven points ahead of Erling Haaland in the battle for the Premier League golden boot, having scored 27 goals, while he is three short of Henry and Kevin De Bruyne’s joint assist record of 20.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona forward believes Raphinha is now ahead of Salah in the race. Raphinha, who joined Barcelona from Leeds in 2022, has 27 goals and 19 assists this season. The Brazilian attacker leads this season’s Champions League with 11 goals, while Salah has three. Henry cited Raphinha’s success in Europe, with Barcelona reaching to the quarter-finals, as well as Salah and Harry Kane’s goal totals, which have been enhanced by penalties. Salah has 11 penalty goals this season, compared to Raphinha’s one in all competitions.

Raphinha, when people talk about being a complete striker, they mean knowing how to put pressure on opponents, defend, and assist your full back. And he has everything.’ While Salah and Liverpool were eliminated from the last 16 on penalties by PSG on Tuesday night, Raphinha scored twice to help Barcelona defeat Benfica 4-1 on aggregate and advance to the last eight. Barcelona now awaits the victors of the last-16 match between Borussia Dortmund and Lille. Salah will attempt to help Liverpool recover from their Champions League exit when they meet Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

BREAKING NEWS: Premier League release the final decision on Amad Diallo’s disallowed goal after a thorough review

Published

During their match against Fulham on Sunday, the Premier League issued a statement to explain why the video assistant referee (VAR) did not enable Manchester United to score a late goal.

Amad Diallo believed that he had scored the game-winning goal for Ruben Amorim’s team in the 94th minute, while they were leading 1-0 courtesy to Lisandro Martinez’s deflected attempt when the goal was scored.

After playing a wonderful one-two with Joshua Zirkzee, the Ivorian player then sent a low strike beneath Bernd Leno in the final minute of stoppage time.

Nevertheless, after observing an incident in the buildup to the goal at Stockley Park, the video assistant referee, Jarred Gillett, and the video assistant referee, Darren Cann, reviewed the goal.

After that, the goal was disallowed by the referee, Anthony Taylor, and United was able to maintain their grasp on the ball in order to clinch a crucial three points at Craven Cottage.

The Premier League has also stated that Amad’s goal against the 23-year-old was disallowed because of offside. Replays have shown that Amad’s shoulder was slightly ahead of Timothy Castagne, which led to the goal being disallowed.

The following message was sent on their official Match Centre account on X (which was then known as Twitter): “Amad’s goal was initially awarded on the pitch to him.” After conducting an investigation, the video assistant referee (VAR) determined that Amad was in an offside position during the buildup, and he suggested that the goal be disallowed.

During his post-match interview, Amorim did not discuss the goal that was disallowed; rather, he concentrated on commenting on the performance of his side in west London.

Following the cancellation of Amad’s late goal and the goal-line clearing made by Toby Collyer, Amorim expressed his satisfaction with his team’s tenacity in achieving just their third victory away from home this season.

Having this sensation when away from home is something that is quite significant. Very strong support from our fans who are away. According to the Portuguese player, “It was not a great game, and there were no great chances.”

We made an effort to play our game, but we have a lot of room for improvement. We are in possession of the final outcome, and we have already won the game; it is of the utmost importance to win at this point.

In addition, he stated that the clean sheet was “really important because it is obvious that you are getting closer to winning games, and it gives you confidence.” Today, we did not experience a great deal of suffering, which is a positive indicator. We put in a goal, and now we are moving on to the next game.

In the meanwhile, Amad was unable to score his tenth goal of the season, Rasmus Hojlund was unable to add to his two goals, and Joshua Zirkzee did not do much during his cameo appearance off the bench.

Amorim, who will turn 40 tomorrow, was not under any illusions about the areas in which his team has to improve. He continued by saying, “Even in the second half, we changed things, and we lack some pace and power in front, but it is what it is.”

If we want to have more opportunities, we need to have more ball. We have a lot of trouble with these particulars. We are able to make significant progress when we are successful.

Following that, on Thursday, United will travel to Romania to compete against FCSB in the Europa League. On February 1, they will then play host to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
